I think psychologically people like to pay small amounts, kinda like SAAS but on a micro scale, taken to the extreme.

#12Taking 10%?
Making developers wait for you to cut a check?
I guess it's better than Apple's terms, but still.

#13What is the limit for spending based on? Like in the Apple iTunes store I have my credit card info registered and can purchase freely. Not sure I understand?

#14Sounds promising, can't wait to see what people use this for
Re: Online payment integration does not have to suck.
#15Nice! How you deal with the risk involved with letting willet users' customers run up a tab? Or am I not understanding this correctly...
Most content has a marginal cost of almost zero (eg, apps, music, etc)… So the only real “risk” is lost sales (ie, people who would have purchased if they weren't able to steal it). But IMO it's unlikely that there are many people who would rather go to the effort of stealing content which they could get for ~$1.
(full disclosure: I'm a friend of the Willet devs)

Willet works the same way. Spend away until you reach $3 of purchases, then you enter a credit card at this point. We securely store your credit card info in our digital vault. When you reach your limit again, we'll run your credit card and email you a receipt!

#17Looks good guys! Congratulations to founders on going live with the site!
I'd love to try this out, but a facebook login wall is preventing me from doing so. I personally don't have an account, but I can see others not wanting to connect their facebook accounts with their businesses.

We're considering allowing users to have a Willet account (ie. new user name and pw). Aren't people sick of having so many logins these days? That was part of the incentive to use FB - keep things simple!

Yeah, most people don't see 'spare change' as 'real money', funnily enough.

We aggregate small payments (5c - $3) without any upfront or monthly fees and no invasive signup process. Its a much better deal than you can get from virtual currencies because the tab makes converting users much easier!
Waiting for a check is the norm because there are (unfortunately) costs involved in sending money. $100 is not too difficult to make for even a small app.
